@armageddon1403 You do get that nationalizing companies under a despotic party is not even socialism, but the opposite of it.

@quest2782 Neither SU nor China were communistic. Both were state capitalism with at best the GOAL to reach socialism (China says they want to do that somewhere around 2050) and from there MAYBE communism, which in general is more an evolution of society than a system anyway. SU/Russia never were able to go beyond state capitalism thanks to the constant threat from outside, even if they would have wanted to. Socialism and communism are both peaceful systems not made for war, especially not for war againt genocidal fascists.

The opposite of socialism = the economy serving the whole SOCIetay are systems like feudalism and capitalism, where the economy serves a small minority of oligarchs, feudal lords, capitalists, while people are powerless and have to serve those oligarchs for meager wages.

@chuck948 You got no clue what you are talking about. Germany was ultra capitalistic, and yes, oligarchs being in power IS what capitalism means.

@thenonexistinghero China says they want to reach socialism (what comes befoer communism) somewher around 2050. We will see if this happens. But yes, both SU/Russia and China are state capitalism = the government controls the economy without much influence of the people. This CAN be a step toward socialism if the government serves the interesst of the people at least, but only that.

@crtune What is the opposite of socialism. It's like saying "we follow human rights", but only a fraction of people count as humans. That's not human rights anymore. Same for democracy. It's not democracy when the demos, the people don't have the power. Ridiculous elections every few years aren't enough for that at all, not even close.

@mrrooster4876 No, Nazism is the exact opposite of Marxism.
1
@terike9738 Sure, you can find fascistic scholars everywhere who will argue about slavery good and democracy bad and human rights bad and so on.

Nationalizing means shit in a dictatorship. For socialism you must SOCIALIZE the industry = the power over the economy must be in the hands of the people, the society. THE WHOLE REASON WHY IT'S CALLED SOCIA(!!!)LISM.
1
@gretashapiro4118 He enslaved and massmurdered millions of people... That's like saying that a country that kills all white people for example still follows human rights. No, it obviously does not.
1
@crtune Child, all the things you say there are the very core of capitalism. The capitalists also being politicians doen't change a thing.
1
@fairhall001 When the capitalists also are the government (instead of only buying them), that's still capitalism.
1
@__-vu8io No, they were not. Stalin warned whole Europe about Hitler, not one wanted to listen, since they all thought that Hitler would only go for the Soviets, then both 'die' and they could just pillage them. Most importa ally of Hitler was the USA - before, during and after the war, where they kept most of his buddies in power, sharing the same racist world view (germany copy/pasted their racism from the USA, no joke).
1
@klarion Communisim is not about renouncing all personal property, that's BS capitalists tell you, so they can keep you as slave by making you fear that human rights will take your appartment away. Nazi germany was a 100% capitalistic state. Socialism is the economical system of communism (and democracy by the way).
1
@laughingvampire7555 The very core of communism is that all humans are equal in worth and rights. Hitler's germany was the EXACT OPPOSITE of that, something capitalism got no problem with, but socialism and communism obviously do.
1
He was as right wing as you can be. Right = elitism. The whole Nazi ideology was just that. The "Übermensch" vs the "Untermensch". Uberhuman vs Subhuman and the Uberhuman allowed to just enslave and kill Subhumans as he please. It's as blatantly right wing as you can be without any care to hold back with it.
1
That's by the way not new but somethign that is spread in germany since the very restart after 2.WW by all the old right wingers, especially the most of the time ruling CDU (the party of von der Leyen, Kohl, Merkel and now Merz). The right wing narrative of all the parties and media in germany is: right = center, only racists = right right = left = extremes you are not allowed to vote for. Of course there is center-right and center-left, but that's not the same as the "right=left" thing - and simply just another lie to sell the right wing parties which all stand for the same neocon exploitation of the people in the same way as different parties (you know, just like Dems and Reps, just with some more parties). Of course the 'center' parties actually DO love the right wing parties, they are best buds, they are family and center is just as racist (and social darwinisic) as those simply not talking about it.

They only use socialism promisses for campaigning, you know, the usual lies of fascists, as they still do today.
1
@sirtrevis Not all property, the means of production. All property would not work well. Communism is more the evolution of society build upon socialism, which is an economical system.
1
@haskalah What communist countries? There are none. Starting with that they don't even call themselves communistic countries. At best there are countries which stated here and there that they want to develope communism, but never even got socialism, the step before communism. A communist country would not have any kind of powerhierarchy. That's the very core of what communism means. That people live together as equals, like in a community. You could argue if that could ever work, knowhing how stupid and shit most people are, but don't just call random things communistic.
1
@MatthewC137 What does collectivism even has to do with communism? Nothing. Especially not when the collective is only a part of the people, while many other parts are free to enslave or even to murder.
1
@DenUitvreter You can't be a socialist when you are an imperialist and just take the VERY RIGHT TO LIVE from MILLIONS of people. That's the opposite extrem of socialism and even more communism. Also communism is the opposite of totalitarian. Communism means that there is no hierarchy, in its extrem not even state. It's the OPPOSITE of totalitarism.
1
@pensador6953 Socialisjm means that the economy servers the whole society. Hitler stole from societyl, enslaved great parts of society and even murdered many of them. He was as anti socialistic as you can be. Only way to surpass him would be even more murder and slavery.
1
@crtune Nonsense, they were both capitalists and at best hated other capitalists for obvious reasons, because capitalism is plutocracy and it's not rare that those who want to be rich and powerful hate others who are or want to be rich and powerful.
1
@Feike86 No, fascism is far right ideology. You simply got no clue what right = elitist and left = egalitarian means.
1
USA mainly went in to stop the soviets from liberating whole Europe from the beloved fascism. Hell, Hitler COPIED the race laws from the USA...
1
Well, yeah, because the NSDAP was able to grow since many rich (now only jews of course, but rich jews did it despite the obvious problem with the NSDAP...) feared the rise of support for socialism/communism, so they did everything they could to help the fascists grow in power instead to counter this and lure away the stupid masses from the idea that human and worker rights (= radical left ideology) could solve their problems and instead brutal racism should rule (you know, like they still do today and long before that).
1
Nothing new in germany. What she says is spread by our right wing media and ruling parties since ages.
1
No, he was no socialist at all, he simlpy lied about it, like right wingerts always lie when it comes to elections, because telling them the truth = "I see you all as worthless scum I will exploit to get power and wealth" doesn't sell well. So they tell lies about threats, about promisses, about everything. The sole reason the german fascists called themselves socialist was to trick the stupid workers. Just like it was done before, just like it was done after.
1
chrismacdonald8014 The core of socialism and communism is that all humans are equal in worth and rights. Nazi germany was one of the most brutal opposit of that.
1
@Puppetmastersfool No, he was member of the predecessor party of the NSDAP, the DAP (Deutsche Arbeiter Partei= german worker party), which had not really anything to do with worker rights, but was mainly antisemitic and nationalistic already. The communistic party in germany was called KPD, which mainly rose from struggled of the socet against the warmongering (especially during and after 1.WW) and of course the fight for general human and worker rights = the very core of what socialism and communism is about.
1
@torvic1236 He was not in the KPD, but the DAP, which later was renamed into NSDAP. Both names were a lie, since they never stood for worker rights and even less for socialism. They were racist from the start.
1
@thenonexistinghero Well, if you think that we should consequently follow the general human righst as highest maxim, you are pretty much a communist.
1
@michaels4255 Hitler was never in the KPD (the communist party of germany), he was in the DAP (the german worker party) later renamed to NSDAP, which had never ANYTHING to do with socialism, even less communism or worker rights. And it doesn't matte if someone maybe had been a communist, that's like saying that all murderers had been not murderers before their first murder. When you become a fascist you are fascist, no matter what you did before. And no, vast majority of socialist and communists of course FOUGHT germanies rule of fascism and paid a bloody price for that. You simply try to rewrite history, perverting facts.
1
@Elementalism The DAP had NOTHING in commom with the KPD, you got no clue what you are talking aboutl.
1
chrismacdonald8014 Yeah, that's called campaigning = telling lies to the idiots so they vote for you, because Goebbels telling the truth about their plans wouldn't have gotten them to powerl. Same then as today.
1
@Rus-bw2oq It was as anti social as anti socialistic. It was slavery and mass murder = the absolute opposite of what social and socialistic means.
1
chrismacdonald8014 Marxist is about ENDING the warfare between classes by abolishing classes. You got no clue what you are talking about or you lie on purpose. You are either stupid or evil.
1
@Tunahater He mass murdered millions of germans and forced them into slavery or into the army to die for his insanity. Only few got rich, his capitalistic buddies, most able to just keep this wealth after 2.WW, build upon slavery and mountains of corpses. EVERYTHING Hitler did was the EXACT OPPOSITE of socialism.
